Advice for a Double Major w/ a dilemma

Colleges & Universities A-Z The University of Texas at Austin

<p>I'm currently an Economics and Actuarial Science undergrad at UT-Austin, however I ended this semester with a 3.65, so it is possible that I could get into McCombs.</p>

<p>I'm not really sure what to do at this point. I will continue to double major for financial reasons, the problem is, I'm unsure as which major I should keep.</p>

<p>Should I do Econ and Accounting? Econ and Finance? Or Actuarial Math and Finance, or actuarial math and accounting?</p>

<p>I'm not sure which of these combos would make me the most marketable, and I have a pretty strong interest in all of them...particularly economics.</p>

<p>Any advice is appreciated.</p>

<p>Without telling you what you should do, let’s find out what you want to do. My daughter is also in the actuary program. She wants to be an actuary. Is being an actuary your end goal? If it is then accounting would be out (I can’t think of anything in the real world where being an accountant and an actuary would be of benefit) The finance and actuary makes sense as does economics and actuary.</p>
